face over the planks Of platform and shake tho
chandeliers at the presence Of candidate or the
neat turn of an ingenious orator The ChicScIng
Hall meeting had the wit and eloqucncc of Senator
Evarts to depend on with the clever tai of eX-
Mayor Low, James p. Foster and james w.
IIawes.
Two candidates, Colonel Grant end Colorcl

going. The slightest reference to the candidates
in the present canvass, the leaders Of the party

question, enough to draw out repeated bursts
of cheering. Nothing could be more pronounced
than the solid cheerfulncss Of the audience, its
hearty satisfaction in the condition of the party
